The origin, history and role of water in the evolution of the inner Solar System

Water is fundamental to life. This meeting will explore how the Earth and its planetary neighbours obtained their water, how abundant it is, and its distribution in both pre-planetary and early planetary times. It will bring together Earth and planetary scientists, astrophysicists and chemists to learn from each other about the history of water on our planet and its role in creating the conditions that support life.

The meeting will be held at the Kavli Royal Society Centre, Chicheley Hall, Newport Pagnell, Buckinghamshire, MK16 9JJ, on the 1st and 2nd of February 2016.

The event is free to attend, but advance registration is essential. More details and a link to the register can be found here.
